      I was referred to ****** at New Century Tax. I had every intention on letting him prepare my taxes until he became frustrated with my questions. I told him I'm the beginning of our meeting that I didn't know anything about this and that's why I was hoping he could help. He has signs posted about not giving estimates and he told me the same. I had no problem with this. He began going over the price after he asked me a few questions to get my return started. When I asked about all the fees he showed me a print out. The print out showed line after line of "processing fees" no other label. My price was set at over $600. I told him I didn't understand and the breakdown didn't help as far as explaining why it was so much. He then said I could pay $350 today and don't have to worry about everything else. I was still confused and at this point he became rude and nasty. I had to ask him to talk to me respectfully because I am trying to understand. He eventually called ****** in who then spoke to him about his patience earlier that day as well as his temperament. She answered the questions I had and I told her I never came in to get an estimate and run, I was referred here but dealing with him was unprofessional and rude. He made a comment about me only understanding because a woman said it and a few other sexist remarks. (One of my questions was about- When I reviewed the forms I saw that he created another checking and routing number AFTER I had given him mine) . When I left I was told I could bring back $350 to process my work. I thought about it and returned a week later to get my receipts and 1099. At this point he did not want to return my paperwork unless I gave him $220 on the spot. I called the non emergency police and they told me where to file a complaint. I explained prior to the call that I did not want to do business with him and now he is holding my documents for $220. I never signed anything that said I would work with him and I told him the reasons why. (Sum)
